Description

Before submitting a bug report

  • I updated to the latest version of Multi-Account Container and tested if I can reproduce the issue
  • I searched for existing reports to see if it hasn't already been reported

Step to reproduce

  1. Opened the extension page, pressing the extension toolbar button.

Actual behavior

There are only options to clear storage and cookies from container not from the default context (no container tabs)

Expected behavior

A button should exist somewhere in the extension page UI to clear the default context.

Additional informations

The function that gets the cookieStoreId already support the context 0 that is the default one. Already tested it with a local modification. If there interest in this, a small tip on UI design about where to put the button and I can submit a patch.

cookieStoreId(userContextId) {
if(userContextId === 0) return "firefox-default";
return `firefox-container-${userContextId}`;
}

Provide a copy of Troubleshooting Information page (optional)

    Yes! This will be such a useful improvement. I currently perform this function by hand, and it can be tedious.
